FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze alternative splicing events from RNA-seq data?▼

You can analyze alternative splicing by inputting aligned RNA-seq reads, junction summaries, and transcript annotations to identify and quantify splice events, generating event tables and sashimi-ready outputs.

What is differential isoform switching and when do I need to assess it?▼

Differential isoform switching involves changes in isoform usage across conditions. You assess it using RNA-seq data to detect alternative splicing variations and generate isoform usage summaries.

Can I generate sashimi plots directly from aligned RNA-seq reads?▼

Yes, you can generate sashimi-ready outputs from aligned RNA-seq reads and transcript annotations. The workflow processes junction summaries to visualize splice events and isoform usage.

Do I need splice-aware quantification tools for isoform-level splicing analysis?▼

Yes, splice-aware quantification tools are required for isoform-level splicing analysis. They process aligned RNA-seq reads alongside data manipulation and plotting libraries to quantify isoform usage accurately.

What's the best way to perform splice-quality assessment on RNA-seq junctions?▼

The best way to perform splice-quality assessment is using a QC-focused workflow that evaluates RNA-seq junctions and annotations, producing QC metrics and referencing appropriate tool selection parameters.

Why does alternative splicing analysis require transcript annotations?▼

Alternative splicing analysis requires transcript annotations because they provide the reference junctions and isoform structures needed to identify splice events and quantify isoform usage from aligned RNA-seq reads.
